It has been showed that more than 70% of school leavers go to university in China, while about 60% of school leavers go to college in Turkey. In China, about 10% of school leavers decide to work after they finish high school education. Most of them have to work due to their failure in university entrance examinations. Although the Chinese administration supports relatively a few students to go to university, approximately 20% of school leavers have to abandon further study because they cannot afford their tuition fees. In Turkey, about 40% of school leavers will not study in university. Most of them establish companies by themselves or go to work as employees. Less than 2% of them abandon study due to economic burden.
It takes four years to obtain a bachelor’s degree in China and it is the same as in Turkey. Both of two countries’ universities test students by exams and course work. More than 99% of Chinese school leavers actually obtain university qualification, which is far more than the figure in Turkey that is only about 80%.
The majority of Chinese students prefer to live in university accommodations, whereas half of Turkish students live at home and half of them live in university halls. In China, most universities should provide enough halls for every student to live in university because most of students’ homes are far away from university. In Turkey, some students prefer living with their classmates and some of them enjoy living at home. It cost about $30 per month to rent a room in China. It is lower than in Turkey, which is about $35 per month. It seems that living standards are lower in China than in Turkey.
About 100 to 200 students attend an average lecture in China, which is far more than in Turkey. There are two different kinds of universities in Turkey. One is the private university; the other one is the public university. For private universities, about 40 to 50 students attend an average lecture while about 90 students attend an average lecture in public universities. Both China and Turkey universities have cafeteria. However, in China there is no lounge while there are lounges for students in Turkey. It seems that Turkey has better education facilities than China does.
Every student in China has to pay tuition fees, which is about $280 per year. More and more private universities have been established in China. Their tuition fees are more expensive than public universities, which are reported about $720 per year. In Turkey, the tuition fees are free in public universities while private universities charge tuition fees about $300 per year.
The world in which we live is constantly evolving. We are demanding more and more from our citizens than ever before and in order to live up to the demands of the world we need a solid education upon which to base our skills and knowledge. There are many alternatives available for receiving an education these days, which is good news for those who have not yet managed to obtain a four-year college degree. Truthfully, that degree is the difference in literally hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a lifetime than not having a degree.
Four Reasons for a Four-Year Education
Money. The first reason that you should consider a university degree is the fact that it will substantially increase your earning potential. If nothing else appeals to you, this is typically the one reason that most people return to school after years in the work place. If you are in high school and haven't really had to deal with the bills and burdens that many adults face it's difficult to explain how important any edge when it comes to earning ability truly is. However, you should be aware that you need to choose your major wisely if money is your sole motivation. Not all careers pay equally when compare to the education required to enter them.
Insurance. This may seem like a strange term to use when discussing why you should get a university education but this is perhaps the best insurance you can find as far as employability goes. Having a university degree gives you a competitive edge over those who do not. In many cases you will find that education is beginning to trump experience as employers are seeking workers with more rounded skills rather than those with very specific skills. The modern university typically requires a brief exposure to all kinds of information and coursework that isn't necessarily related to your major. This provides graduates with a broader understanding of the world (at least that is the assumption).
Employability. Believe it or not, those with degrees are much more employable than those that do not have them. There was a time when the trend was to employ those who had experience over those who had education. That trend is rapidly evaporating as companies want employees that can fill multiple roles more and more often. The limited exposure to certain ideas or ideals and principles that most people receive as part of their university education makes you a more employable candidate because you should be able to adapt and adjust, as this was required during your educational process.
Confidence. There is nothing quite like believing in yourself. Getting a four-year education is one way to build confidence not only on a personal level but also on a professional level. Whether or not you realize it, this is often the best reason for pursuing a university degree. This reason, as a matter of fact, will actually affect all of the other things I mentioned above. If you have more confidence in your ability you will be more willing to go out there and get the job done. As a result, you will earn more money and you will insure that you are an asset to your company by proving yourself to be just that.
Regardless of your personal reason for pursuing a university degree there are very few wrong reasons to get your degree. Good luck in your educational pursuits. I know they will serve you well.
